This is a funny thread, just pointing out our shared madness (or, or some cases, OCD).
Usual ones:
- Wheel graphics always in, only white wheels
- Never use bearing spacers
- Hexagon screws need to be used only, all 8
- never a fully black griptape
Unusual ones:
- soft independent risers, always
- board has to be silent, no rattling
- I ride Jart boards, great board shapes but I don't like the brand image itself, so I always cover the Jart logo with a sticker (meaning I can only ride boards with small logos)
I, too, used to ride Frankenstein set-ups as a kid. Mixing up trucks (low in the front, high in the back, or having a tensor baseplate to an Orion hanger...). Worked fine, never felt strange.
